I own a 460, and its crazy accurate. I got a Smith performance center. And it gets 4" groups to 100 yards.

Bad part is, the 11" barrel makes it so front heavy, its not practical. With the effective muzzle-brake, fire shoots out 5 feet in all directions at low light. Its freakin blinding. I highly suggest hearing protection. I shot a doe 3 years ago, and was blind and feel like I did permanent damage to my left ear.

Same deal with the 500. Lastly, its hell on scopes, both the 460 and 500. No matter what the mount, (and I have tried em all) they will twist. I went thru 2 leupolds and a bushnell elite on my 460. Well, one leupold just sent back twice. Leupold said these guns are killing these scopes and actually recommended mounted with the mount touching the erector/recticle housing.

I like the guns, but I seem to love 44/454's better for practical hunting. I also have a super redhawk that is my now hog pistol.
